I wrote all the code using pygame

A good logic game. Creative idea and good contols.
I really enjoyed 'Deep Dive.' The chase sequence at the end was unexpected but fun, and the color choice was visually pleasing. It's a unique take on the theme 'Diving Deeper.' Good job!
i enjoyed the chase sequence at the end. its unexpected, yet fun. i also really like the color choice you settled on, it's very pleasing to look at :) its overall a pretty unique take on the theme. Good job!
First of all, the game looks very cute. I have a soft spot for this kind of art style. The puzzles were pretty fun and not too challenging. The music and the sounds were a little repetitive, but you get points for making it yourself. I like that you interwove some lore in and your overall take on the theme was pretty clever. Great work!
Simple and cute puzzle game! I liked that you wrote the music yourself. I do wish you gave an option to use WASD or the num pad arrows because my arrow keys are broken, which made the lava part kinda challenging. Still finished it though, and I enjoyed the game!
Sorry about that. I didn’t have much time to fit wasd on the game.
Music was cute, difficulty was just right for its length. Solid game!
Thanks
I actually enjoyed this one more than the others!
great job!
I appreciate you playing it
Graphics are simple but rather pleasent. Gameplay is definitely to theme.
The little bits of story you worked into there were a nice touch, made the gameplay feel more meaningful. The difficulty level felt about right for me, despite having not playing that many puzzle games before. It felt like there was a good amount of variety between levels. You made good design decisions overall.
For improvements, a bit more work is needed on the sound design. The music gets a bit repetitive, and the digging sound isn't great to listen to. Remember, its worth 16.666667% of Ratings this Jam! A particle effect for the digging would also be cool, rather than just a black circle.
Overall, a neat puzzle game. Good job!
Thanks for the feedback. I didn’t realize how important music an sound was, as I only spent a couple minutes making sounds.
Nice little funny game! I liked the idea and story of it, although I will say the music can be a little bit repetitive at times.
I wasn’t too concerned about the music. I think it could’ve been a bit better too. I had only spent about 5 minutes with it.
really nice, challenging and well developed puzzle game! Great Job!
I’m glad you enjoyed it
I love the idea!

Overall 📓
You did a great job on this game! I had fun playing it, and I could see myself actually paying money for this experience! Cant wait to see what you have planned next for a game!
Thanks. I might make this a full release
Nice concept, great work!
Thanks.
Liked it! Cool puzzle game ^^
Good job completing it. Thanks for playing it!
Fun game, holding down D got a bit annoying but apart from that it was quite good.
Thanks! I think I also could’ve made digging a bit less tedious
Cute game. Creative and fun idea. Nice for a jam but I would recommend adding more wrong path and more puzzle style levels. Keep it up!
Can you try and rate my game ?
I’ll do it if I find time. I might also make this a full release one day.
Neat game. I liked the sequence at the end, and the connected layer system. My main issue was the audio. Digging sound effect drove me a little crazy. Other than that, nice game :)
Thanks for enjoying it. It was really difficult to find a good dig sound, but I gave it my best shot.
Cool little game! Having the layers be places you come in and out of as part of one big level, instead of the layers just being their own levels, was a great idea. The ending was great too.
Thanks! I’m glad you liked it. I tried to think of a unique twist with the theme, and this was it.
Nice concept, and different so far from everything I've played! The digging sound was not for me ':D otherwise I liked the puzzles.
I had trouble for finding a good dig sound, but thanks for the feedback!
I really enjoyed this, the puzzles are simple and intuitive but fun, the escaping from the lava at the end was really cool
Thanks for the feedback!
This is one of my favourite so far! I think its a great take on the theme, the placing of the game was good, i managed to beat the lava and get too the end after a few attempts!
I tried to make a game with a unique take on the theme. Thanks!
